Gaza, ALRAY - The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced late Sunday the latest update on the death toll of Palestinian martyrs who have been killed since the beginning of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip last Friday afternoon.

The Ministry of Health said the number of Palestinian martyrs has reached 44, including 11 children and four women, in addition to 360 others wounded.

The Ministry’s spokesman Ashraf al-Qedra said that the number of martyrs is likely to increase because the Israeli occupation forces directly targeted the homes of citizens, stressing that the Ministry deployed all its crews despite the hardship and difficult situation they have been going through.
